Why do you think clients that can't display these quotes are broken? By
the nature of the PC console, the Linux console (on the ix86, at least)
can only display 512 different characters, 256 if you want bold
characters. Conformant Unicode systems can support whatever set of
characters they want. Give me a list of characters (< 256) that
en_*.UTF-8 should support, and a consensus, then we can start
claiming they're broken and fixing them.
